Murdoch coats his dagger in Darkness energy and dash-slashes at the foe, leaving a purple-black trail of fire in its wake that jumps out from the blade a bit. Both the fire and the dagger itself can deal damage, although the fire is slightly weaker.

+Up

Blinding Dash

Murdoch becomes surrounded in Holy Energy, hovering in place for a split second, before dashing forward in a straight line. Similar to Fox's Fire Fox in that it can deal damage to the opponent, but Murdoch's attack is executed much more quickly. The direction Murdoch dashes can be controlled by tilting the Control stick in the desired direction.

+Down

Flame Tail

Murdoch coats his long tail in fire and swings it at the foe. It deals moderate damage, and has excellent range.

Murdoch uses an unusually long dagger as his weapon of choice (given to him by his father, Nolan Possum), but he also has advanced combat abilities and is capable of using Pyrokinesis, Solarakinesis and Spectrakinesis. All of his attacks are strictly physical.

Tail

His tail, which is 70% muscle (20% cartilage, 3% bone and 7% blood vessels), is strong enough to easily support his weight (as well as 75 extra pounds) whenever he uses it to hang from an object, such as a tree branch. He often hangs from objects as a means of spying upon others or surveying the land, and he also uses his tail in conjunction with his paws to quickly scale trees and other objects. He does not, however, sleep upside-down (he tried it once and had a bad headache the next morning). One powerful swing from Murdoch's muscle-bound tail can break bones and SWATbots.

The nearly invisible, super-sensitive hairs on Murdoch's tail are capable of detecting even the most subtle changes in the air.

His tail is filled with blood vessels (7% is more than you think), making it a weak spot as well as a weapon; if Murdoch's tail was punctured/lacerated deeply enough, he could bleed to death.

Murdoch has a super form known as Vulcan Murdoch, in which the indigo blue parts of his fur turn orange, the peach parts of his fur turn yellow and the black tips of his ears, as well as the black tuft on his head, turn into flames (hence the name Vulcan Murdoch). Murdoch's super form is obtained through the use of a special crystal (which is now his earring) that was given to him as a child. The earring must come into contact with extreme heat in order to trigger Murdoch's super form.

Personality

Murdoch is very headstrong, stubborn, and sometimes rude, but highly loyal and more than willing to do anything for his friends. It is also shown that Murdoch has a blatant disrespect towards authority figures.
